A new survey has found that a third of unmarried Japanese adults in their twenties, thirties, and forties have never been in a relationship.
As reported by Kyodo News:
At 34.1 percent, the ratio of single men and women who have never had a romantic relationship was at a record high since Recruit Holdings Co., a staffing service group, began conducting surveys on people's views on marriage in 2017.
The figure of 25.6 percent for people not seeking marriage nearly matches the finding in last year's gender equality survey by the Japanese government, which has been struggling to deal with the ...

Here are some pics from a semi-nude shoot she did for Flash to ...
Japanese photographer Kishin Shinoyama has died at the age of 83.
As regular readers will know, Shinoyama is regarded as the king of the hair nude (full-frontal nude), and is largely responsible for establishing it as a publishing genre in the early 1990s with his photo books of Rie Miyazawa (Santa Fe) and Kanoko Higuchi (Water Fruit), though Shinoyama and others had already done nudes in the previous decade (notably, a lovely shoot with Aki Mizusawa).
Others quickly dropped their clothes in front of the camera (not least, Yoko Shimada and Saki Takaoka), hoping to replicate Miyazawa ...
Japan's Noto Peninsula was hit by a huge earthquake on New Year's Day, causing massive damage to roads and buildings, and triggering a tsunami. Over a hundred have died, with many more still missing, and Ishikawa and surrounding prefectures have suffered almost immeasurable levels of destruction to property and infrastructure.
As locals subsist in evacuation centers or try to leave the area, and emergency services pour in to bring supplies and rescue those still trapped, the authorities have specifically requested that people outside the region not come as volunteers yet to ease the burden ...

We spend a lot of time on this blog looking at the latest developments in gravure models, music idols, Japanese porn, and general sex- and adult-related news.
But it's occasionally good to take a step back in time and explore the older content that's out there.
We have been looking at an obscure 1989 film with the improbable yet enticing title of E-Cup Honban II: Hojuku. It stars the well-endowed Satsuki Fuji (藤沙月).
The 59-minute softcore porn (pink) film has multiple nude sex scenes.
The best ones include a bed scene in which her lover kisses her amazing breasts while fingering ...
The New Year period in Japan is traditionally a time when celebrities announce marriages. Despite being overshadowed by tragic events in Noto and Haneda, this year proved to be business as usual in that respect: the actress Aya Hirano announced her marriage, and gravure idol Tomomi Morisaki confirmed her long-rumored coupling with baseball player Shota Hiranuma (and the fact that she was pregnant to boot).
And another celebrity story emerged: that the former TV announcer Minami Tanaka, who has made a wildly successful transition into modeling and acting, is dating the KAT-TUN singer Kazuya ...
2023 was another busy year for us, publishing an article almost every weekday. We hope you enjoyed reading our content.
With just a few days of 2023 left, let's look back on the year through some of the major developments in the gravure industry.
In January, Ichika Miri announced her retirement (though since she's just 24 years old, we hope she might return under a different name and new management).
One-time top gravure princess Anri Sugihara released her first photo book in over six years. She is now a charmingly mature 41 years old.
In March, Memo Oba retired. Gravure is brutally ...
The gravure model and actress Yuka Someya has reached that ripe thirties jukujo age when every role she gets offered is erotic (previous occupants of this type included Mitsu Dan and Minami Hashimoto).
In the first episode of TV drama Are kara Doshita, she plays a woman who is having an affair with a securities company.
Someya is playing to type here as a seductive woman who has an affair. It seems the way into someone like that's heart (and panties) is to arrive at her day bearing an expensive gift.
This being mainstream TV and not a streamer, there's no actual nudity on display. ...
As the year draws to a close, it's natural to look back on the past months and get a little nostalgic.
Present-day Japanese gravure idols dressed up and photographed in the style of vintage pinup models? Yes, please!
That's the basic concept behind a new photo book called Pin-Up Girls Selection, which is attempting to conjure up the image of "American porn from 100 years ago," according to the promo spiel.
There are nine participating models: Rin Takahashi, ENA, Hinano Ayakawa, Miku Oshima, Miyako Sono, Miyu Nakagawa, Aya Hazuki, Haruka Bando, and Saki Yanase.
Bando and Oshima are ...
